Chromosomal evidence of population subdivision in the freshwater fish Leporinus elongatus in the Upper Paraná River basin

Cytogenetic analyses performed in populations of the Neotropical freshwater fish Leporinus elongatus of the Upper Paraná River basin showed a chromosome polymorphism involving heterochromatic segments of the nucleolar organizing pair in this species. The NOR-bearing chromosome pair was characterized...
